mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

Kim

Is is machine-washable?

rab

Does it have a specific colour?

Breadmaster

Did they have it in the Middle Ages?

Beth

Did they have it in the Stone Ages?

Chalky

back from lunch

Raak - No
Boolbar - Not at the moment ... therefore No to second question
Bob - No
Inkspot - No
Kim - No
rab - Yes
Breadmaster - Interesting. Define Middle Ages and I can give you a more specific answer.
Beth - No

rab

Is it larger than a phone book?

Chalky

rab - No, not usually. Extreme examples might be.

Inkspot

Is it manufactured for specific purpose or function?

Chalky

Inkspot - Yes

Boolbar

Is it white?

Inkspot

Is it from the husk of a nut?

Chalky

Boolbar - No
Inkspot - No

Is it orange?

Is it coal?

Is it a book?

Boolbar - No [but close]
Raak - No
Lib - No

Nobody has really guessed even close so far. A combination of Dazed's original question and Raak's recent question - even though they both received a 'No' might give some direction.

Boolbar

Is it a liquid?

Boolbar

Boolbar - No

Chalky

ooooops

Sorry Boolbar - that was ME appropriating your name without permission :-)
Just a thought - I am assuming you meant the colour orange as opposed to the fruit orange in your last question? If you meant the fruit, then the answer is an even more resounding No.
